Nice shots, Geoff

Like the ones of the Veil...plenty of detail there.

Helix is good too....I like the colours

Your just starting to get some of the outer regions of the Helix poke their heads into the piccie....maybe you should've extended the subs....7-10 mins maybe.

Thanks Carl, I tried to tease out those bits with processing, you are right...more exposure time is needed.

Thanks Jeanette, I like that one to. Should have mentioned that Matt took and processed the Helix shot. Not bad for a first effort
